The Home Building Process
Once you make the decision to go with Stephen Thomas Homes, we will begin the process of designing your dream home. This process will go through a series of phases:
Phase 1: Designing Your Home
This phase starts with an initial design meeting where we meet to begin laying out your new home. Steve Thomas will guide you through the process one step at a time. He will listen to your desires and will give you advice to help you get the most out of your new home based on your budget.
Phase 2: Revisions
We work through a series of revisions in order to refine the initial concept of your dream home.
Phase 3: Final Plans & Specifications
Once all your needs have been met and you are satisfied with the final design, we create a final set of plans that will use to build your new home. We also will create a detailed set of specifications that describe what will go in your home based on your desires.
Phase 4: Selections & Construction
You will start the process of selecting the items you want for the exterior and interior of your new home prior to construction. This starts with exterior materials such as stone, brick, siding, roofing, and more. After exterior materials have been selected, we continue into the interior of your home by selecting the flooring, appliances, paint, tile, plumbing fixtures, electrical fixtures, among many other things. With a custom home by Stephen Thomas Homes, you have the freedom to choose a wide range of materials.
Our very capable and experienced vendors will help you with your selections, or you are welcome to engage the services of a professional designer.
EasyLiving & Universal Design
During the design and selection phases, it is important to keep in mind how your home is used, not only today, but in the years that follow. Building your home with Universal Design features will not only enhance your home now but give it greater value down the road. Learn more about EasyLiving Homes and Universal Design
